The Croissant d'Or (Golden Croissant)"Had a quick croissant breakfast here as it was around the corner from our hotel. ...The pastry choices, salads, croissants and sandwiches looked unbelievable. I had a plain croissant which tasted nearly as good as the ones I ate in Paris. Coffee was very good too and you get a "bowl" full! A lot of Europeans were eating here too -- definitely worth a visit I just wish I had gone back for a pastry! The bartender at Muriels highly recommended Croissant d'Or and their carrot cake - the locals love this place apparently and I can see why." - from Tripadvisor.com Mule and horse-drawn carriages glide close by the Olde Town Inn. You can climb aboard one for a tour of the Vieux Carre! Carriages board at Jackson Square, in the heart of the French Quarter!
